Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
La autonomía universitaria en Venezuela
No full textLa autonomía universitaria tiene una larga tradición en Venezuela, pero más en el terreno de los principios, que en la práctica. La doctrina autonómica ha formado parte de la ideología universitaria de los venezolanos desde que existe la Universidad. Sin embargo, aunque la universidad venezolana se fundó sobre ese criterio, dentro de la antigua tradición de la universidad medieval, en Venezuela el principio autonómico de hecho ha estado siempre en contradicción con otro principio esencial de ..

Problemática del libro y la lectura en America latina
No full textLes freins à la diffusion et donc à la production du livre en Amérique latine sont principalement le taux élevé d'analphabétisme et le faible pouvoir d'achat d'une grande partie de la population. Cependant des maisons d'édition puissantes ont pu s'établir dans certains pays et les moyens de publication se développent. Aujourd'hui, malgré la concurrence de nouveaux média, la télévision et la radio en particulier, qui sont réputés encourager la paresse naturelle des lecteurs et d'en raréfier le nombre, on assiste néanmoins à un accroissement sensible du nombre de titres publiés et du nombre des écrivains. Cette situation paradoxale est loin d'incliner au pessimisme.Marquez Rodriguez Alexis. Problemática del libro y la lectura en America latina. In: América : Cahiers du CRICCAL, n°23, 1999.
